| Summary: | Digital learning competence has gradually become one of the core qualities essential for undergraduate students. To effectively enhance undergraduates’ digital learning abilities and their positive impact on academic performance, this study developed a validated survey on digital learning competence and academic achievement. A total of 312 valid questionnaires were collected from undergraduate students. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that the overall academic achievement of the sample students was at an upper-middle level, with course achievements and practical achievements being higher than scholarly achievements. Differential analysis showed that male students scored higher than female students in scholarly achievements, practical achievements, and overall academic performance. Additionally, senior students generally outperformed junior students in course achievement, academic research, and overall academic performance, while undergraduates from key universities generally achieved higher academic results than those from ordinary undergraduate institutions. Correlation and regression analyses indicated that digital learning evaluation competence as a sub-competence under digital learning competence has significant positive predictive effects on undergraduates’ academic achievement. When other factors remained constant, for each unit increase in digital learning evaluation ability, academic achievement increased by 0.480 units. Therefore, universities can improve existing student development processes through measures such as enriching carriers, optimizing methods, and creating supportive environments to foster undergraduates’ digital learning competence, thereby enhancing their academic achievement. |
